Chester Rogers (hamstring) did not practice today.

It’s only Wednesday, but Rogers’ hamstring is obviously taking some time to recover. We’ll see if he can practice tomorrow or Friday.

Rex Burkhead (ribs) is out for Week 5.

On a short week, Burkhead was a limited participant in practice all week but will not play tomorrow night against Tampa Bay. He seems to be getting close though, so maybe he’ll be able to practice fully next week and get out there for Week 6 against the Jets.

Rob Gronkowski (thigh) is questionable for tomorrow night against the Bucs.

Gronk was just added to the injury report and was listed as a limited participant in practice today. It’s a slight concern, but Gronk is fully expected to be out there and 100% against the Buccaneers. Check in tomorrow night to make sure, but it should be safe to insert Gronkowsk into your fantasy lineup and expect a bunch of points.

Pete Carroll says Thomas Rawls has been “flying around” at practice.

The Seahawks head coach said Rawls and Eddie Lacy are “going to take the load” with rookie Chris Carson now out indefinitely with a leg injury. It sounds like C.J. Prosise and J.D. McKissic will be more of receiving backs than runners out of the backfield, so Rawls or Lacy are likely to be the back to own in standard leagues. If one performs well, they can probably seize the the majority of the carries for the Seahawks. Rawls should be considered the heavy favorite, and he should be the target if he happens to be available in your league. The Rams are giving up a bunch of fantasy points to running backs this season, so Rawls might not be a bad option this week if you’re struggling at running back with injuries and bye weeks starting—but he does carry risk until we see his workload.

Kelvin Benjamin (knee) did not practice today.

He’s on the injury report, but the team is probably just taking it easy with their top receiver. Benjamin is coming off a four-catch, 104-yard game against New England.

Curtis Samuel (back) was a limited participant in practice today.

The rookie receiver did not play on Sunday against the Patriots, but he looks to be headed in the right direction for this week. We’ll get more clarity tomorrow and Friday on Samuel’s status.

Odell Beckham Jr. (finger) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Beckham, as you might have seen in an ugly-looking snapshot of it, is dealing with a finger injury when it bent back during Sunday’s game. He’ll play on Sunday against the Chargers, but don’t be surprised if he’s limited in practice all week.
